    I just visited the AutoDesk website to find that they are now pushing
    users towards the DWF format rather than using PDF for delivering
    drawings to clients.

    From my experience clients want a no-nonsense solution to viewing and
    printing drawings. They want to open the drawings with a viewer they
    already have and are comfortable with rather than download ANOTHER
    viewer just to open my drawings. Some users have a hard time with the
    whole zoom/pan concept, especially when you embed the DWF in a frame
    on a web page.

    AutoDesk, if you're listening, lets get some cutting edge solutions
    (like 3D Studio Max for instance) and quick playing games to gain
    market share. Also, please fix your DWF viewer to work with two
    monitors correctly.

    You aren't limited that slow by your location. You can dial into any
    service and get 56k although you might get long distance charges.

    Also, a satellite feed offer considerable more than that and isn't
    restricted by geographic location.
